Mental Health
K-C offers mental health and substance abuse benefits for things like counseling appointments, psychiatrist visits, group therapy, and inpatient hospital stays. There are multiple ways to receive care.
Employee Assistance Program
Through K-C's Employee Assistance Program (EAP), you or your dependents can receive the support you need whether it's online, on the phone, or in person. K-C's program covers 10 free, confidential visits per dependent, per need, to an in-network EAP provider for issues such as life changes, depression, and stress. You don't need to be enrolled in K-C’s medical plan to use EAP.

Anthem Medical Plan
Employees enrolled in one of K-C’s medical plans have coverage for mental health and substance abuse help delivered virtually or through outpatient and inpatient care.
LiveHealth Online Virtual Care
In addition to regular office visits for minor ailments, did you know that, if you are enrolled in one of K-C’s medical plan options, through LiveHealth Online you and your covered dependents can connect with a Masters level therapist, psychologist or psychiatrist from the comfort of your home or office? Costs are generally lower than in-person, and the wait time for an appointment is generally much shorter, depending on where you live.

|---|---|---|
| Masters Level Therapist | $80 | |

Outpatient Care
For outpatient care, like office visits to see counselors and psychiatrists, both CDHP options offer the same coverage you'd see for other types of office visits. You pay 20% of the bill after you meet your deductible, as long as you see a network provider.
For more information, see the Medical Plan Comparison Chart.
Inpatient Care
The CDHP options cover inpatient care for mental health the same way they cover other types of inpatient hospital care. As long as you use a network hospital and network health care providers, you pay 20% of the bill after you meet your deductible. Pre-authorization is required.
